Don Graham, the head of Graham Holdings and former owner of The Washington Post, is transitioning from media man to activist.

According to a press release, Graham is launching a new movement with philanthropist Henry R. Muñoz III and former Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez that will "make a significant investment to open doors of opportunity to young immigrants." The group will have a formal launch next Tuesday at the Newseum in Washington.

"Not content to wait for the political process to play out, Graham, Munoz and Gutierrez will detail plans on how this organization will make a down payment on our country’s future by helping young immigrants achieve the American Dream through enhanced educational opportunities," the release said.

Graham, who sold The Washington Post to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos last year, has also decided to move his renamed Graham Holdings to Rosslyn after selling the Post's headquarters in downtown Washington, the Post reports. Graham Holdings include the Kaplan education company, television stations, Internet properties and a cable television company.
